Story South Africa vs England

[Shevchenko]

Hi and here is my tour , and I promise this time that I will finish it !!!!!!!
I get bored playing this crap version of cricket , hope the next one is better

please note that ill send pics at the end of the match
Welcome to Johannesburg for the first test between South Africa and England
The teams are as follow:
South Africa
1.G.Smith ?
2.H.Gibbs
3.J.Rudolph
4.J.Kallis
5.B.Dippenaar
6.H.Amla
7.M.Boucher(Returning to side)
8.S.Pollock
9.N.Boje
10.C.Langeveltd
11.M.Ntini

England
1.M.Trestchotick
2.A.Strauss
3.M.Vaughan?
4.M.Butcher
5.G.Thorpe
6.A.Flintoff
7.G.Jones
8.A.Giles
9.S.Jones
10.M.Hoggard
11.S.Harmison

It is interersting to see that Boucher returns after he was dropped
perhaps this brings South Africa more expierence that they need against
England.

Boucher has had a wonderful domestic year with Border and he is really
someone you can count on

But enough with introducing Boucher back in to International cricket lets go
have a look at the pitch report with Robert Jackman

RJ:Thankyou , this pitch is hard and is going to be a batsmen paradise, the
bowlers will have some extra bounce and that will help bowlers like Harmison
and Hoggard

TOSS:Greame Smith is really for the toss
Vaughan shouts heads and tails it is

RJ:Greame what are you going to do
GS:Ahhm I think we will have a bat first because the pitch is hard and will suite us
RJ:Boucher in the side again, what is the story behind that ?
GS:me and Ray had a long discussion about that and we agreed that Boucher brings back
alot of expierence into the side
RJ:Thanks Greame and good luck
GS:Thankyou
RJ:Now Michael, you arent happy with the toss
MV:Im never happy , maybe someone else must come take it for me , the pitch is hard and will
suite Harmison and Hoggard very good so all in all , I say we have a chance of making them go out
without a big score
RJ: So there you have it South Africa has won the toss and elected to bat first , the pitch is
hard and South Africa will have to make nothing under 450 to have a chance of winning the match

SUMMARY:LUNCH
Great start by South Africa they are really playing agressive , its
almost like a they are playing a one day match
Well done by H.Gibbs to get his century

SA:176/3(30)
Gibbs 108(90)
Smith 48(38)
Kallis 39*(69)
Run Rate:5.86

Flintoff:3-0-10/2
Jones:9-0-54/1

At the moment South Africa is in total control of the game and england
will need to make the run rate go under 4 otherwise they might need
to chase one big score

Pick of the bowlers will have to be Flintoff and Vaughan will have to bowl him more than usual

Stay tuned for the next update on the match

I have deleted cricket 2004 along time ago and now I have installed it again to play
so my stuff like clothes might be out datted

Welcome to the second day of the first test between South Africa and England, Im Neil Andrews of
Supersport and I will be youre host

Yesterday I had a quick interview with Herschelle Gibbs

NA:Herschelle are you feeling good after that knock
HG:Ah yes ofcourse I needed that century for my career
NA:The pitch is it hard to bat on?
HG:No it isnt, the only problem was that we batted to quickly and the pitch is not suited for
fast batting and it shows with the standard bank series when The Strikers played The Titans
the Strikers only managed to get 208 runs in 45 overs wich the normal score is 240
NA:thankyou Herschelle
HG:its a pleasure

Now on with the interview with Freddie , like the English spectators would call him

NA:Andrew a good perfmance with the bowl and now England will need a good perfomance with the bat
AF , me and Marcus has to get a 100 runs parternship to make the score more respectable and
if we can go to lunch without loosing a wicket we can work on that and come back into the game
NA:Freddie brilliant bowling mate and cheers
AF:Thankyou Neil

Thankyou to both men for making time at the close of play for me

On with the match , England is 53/4 and will need Flintoff to be at his best in order to put
England in a better posistion

Stay Tuned for the next update

 

[Shevchenko]

ENG:102 ALL OUT
Tres'chtk:34(89)
